Luo L, He CL, Li W, Tang XP. Systematic review and meta-analysis of ROSA vs. conventional therapy for intracerebral hemorrhage. J Robot Surg 2024; 18:326. [PMID: 39167315 DOI: 10.1007/s11701-024-02074-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024]
Abstract
The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the perioperative and short-term results of the Robot of Stereotactic Assistance (ROSA) compared to traditional approaches in individuals with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We will perform a comprehensive computerized search of PubMed, CNKI, Embase, and Google Scholar to identify relevant literature on ROSA vs. conventional therapy for intracerebral hemorrhage, covering publications from the inception of each database until July 2024. This study will include both English and Chinese language studies. Literature screening will adhere strictly to inclusion and exclusion criteria, focusing on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies. The ROBINS-I tool is utilized for evaluating bias risk in non-RCTs. Analysis of the data from the studies included will be conducted with Review Manager 5.4.1. The final analysis included 7 retrospective cohort studies and 1 randomized controlled study, involving a total of 844 patients. Among these, 433 patients underwent ROSA, while 411 received conventional treatment (conservative treatment, conventional craniotomy, or stereotactic frame-assisted surgery). Compared to conventional therapy, patients treated with ROSA showed improvements in operative time, postoperative rebleeding, postoperative extubation time, and intracranial infection. Nonetheless, there was no notable contrast in mortality or central hyperthermia outcomes between the two treatments. ROSA is a safe and viable option for treating patients with cerebral hemorrhage, showing significant advantages in terms of surgery duration, postoperative rebleeding, time to remove the breathing tube, and intracranial infection compared to conservative treatment, traditional craniotomy, or stereotactic surgery.

[PMID: 34463595 DOI: 10.1080/02688697.2021.1969006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 08/09/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic surgery has found increasing use in multiple subfields of neurosurgery. While the initial applications of stereotactic robotic surgery were for the placement of electrodes for extra-operative seizure monitoring, this technique has become increasingly relevant in other areas of neurosurgery. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of successful robotic surgery utilization to drain a cerebral abscess and place an external ventricular drain. CASE REPORT The authors demonstrate a novel use for stereotactic robotic assistance to drain a cerebral abscess and place ventriculostomy in a 74-year-old female patient who presented with a left basal ganglia Streptococcus intermedius abscess and concomitant ventriculitis. Drainage of a deep-seated abscess and placement of ventriculostomy was successfully performed in this patient without intraoperative difficulties or complications. The total operative time, including registration was 64 minutes and the estimated blood loss was 25 mL. The patient recovered well and was discharged to inpatient rehabilitation on postoperative day 19. CONCLUSIONS The use of robotic surgery to drain cerebral abscesses and place ventriculostomies is technically feasible and may potentially decrease operative time and increase accuracy and safety.

Abstract
Background The Entrapped Temporal Horn (ETH) is characterized by localized enlargement of the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle of the brain. This study aimed to investigate the factors, development, prognosis, and effective treatment. Methods Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, a systematic search was conducted in major research databases. The inclusion criteria included patients of all ages with TTH diagnosis in cohort studies, case series, and case reports. Results Our study included 160 patients and 49 studies. The major causes of TTH were neoplastic lesions (42.3%), infections (22.3%), and cystic disease (13.08%). Of these cases, 71 were unrelated to cranial surgery, while 89 were unrelated to prior surgeries. Headache was the most common symptom (41.91%), followed by seizures (13.20%), drowsiness (12.50%) and memory loss (11.00%). Surgery was not required in 17 patients. Fenestration of the trapped temporal horn was performed in 24 patients, while VP/VA shunt surgeries were performed in the majority (57 patients) owing to favorable outcomes, lower revision rates, and extensive experience. However, TTH recurred in six of the 21 patients who underwent endoscopic ventriculocisternostomy. Tumors were the main cause, and isolated headache was the most frequent symptom. Ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPS) are preferred because of their positive outcomes, lower revision rates, and wider expertise. Tumors near the trigonal area pose a higher risk. Conclusion Although TTH remains a rare condition, VPS continues to be the most widely preferred procedure among surgeons.

Application of Robotic Stereotactic Assistance (ROSA) for spontaneous intracerebral hematoma aspiration and thrombolytic catheter placement. J Formos Med Assoc 2024:S0929-6646(24)00254-7. [PMID: 38866694 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfma.2024.05.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for up to 20% of all strokes and results in 40% mortality at 30 days. Although conservative medical management is still the standard treatment for ICH patients with small hematoma, patients with residual hematoma ≤15 mL after surgery are associated with better functional outcomes and survival rates. This study reported our clinical experience with using Robotic Stereotactic Assistance (ROSA) as a safe and effective approach for stereotactic ICH aspiration and intra-clot catheter placement. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted of patients with spontaneous ICH who underwent ROSA-guided ICH aspiration surgery. ROSA-guided ICH surgical techniques, an aspiration and intra-clot catheter placement protocol, and a specific operative workflow (pre-operative protocol, intraoperative procedure and postoperative management) were employed to aspirate ICH using the ROSA One Brain, and appropriate follow-up care was provided. RESULTS From September 14, 2021 to May 4, 2022, a total of 7 patients were included in the study. Based on our workflow design, ROSA-guided stereotactic ICH aspiration effectively aspirated more than 50% of hematoma volume (or more than 30 mL for massive hematomas), thereby reducing the residual hematoma to less than 15 mL. The mean operative time of entire surgical procedure was 1.3 ± 0.3 h, with very little perioperative blood loss and no perioperative complications. No patients required catheter replacement and all patients' functional status improved. CONCLUSIONS Within our clinical practice ROSA-guided ICH aspiration, using our established protocol and workflow, was safe and effective for reducing hematoma volume, with positive functional outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is still no consensus on whether primary pontine hemorrhage (PPH) should be managed conservatively or treated promptly via surgical evacuation of the hematoma. The purpose of this study was to assess the therapeutic effect of robotic frameless stereotactic aspiration with thrombolysis in the treatment of PPH. METHODS A total of 39 patients with PPH treated between January 2012 and November 2016 were included in the study. Sixteen patients underwent frameless stereotactic surgical treatment (ST group) and 23 patients underwent conservative treatment (CT group). Clinical and radiologic parameters were assessed, and the patient outcomes were analyzed over a 6-month follow-up period. RESULTS Surgical treatment did not result in any intracranial infections, or complications. Baseline characteristics did not significantly differ between the two groups. At discharge, the average Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score and the overall Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score were significantly higher in the ST group compared to the CT group (p < 0.05). The mortality rate (GOS score 1) was significantly lower in the ST group (18.75%, 3/16) than in the CT group (52.17%, 12/23). For patients with hematoma volumes of 5 to 10 mL or GCS scores of 6 to 8, following treatment, the ST group exhibited markedly higher GOS scores in comparison to the CT group. CONCLUSION Our study suggests that robotic frameless stereotactic aspiration with thrombolysis is a safe and efficient method for the treatment of PPH. Patients with hematomas of 5 to 10 mL or GCS scores of 6 to 8 could benefit from surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study compared the efficacies of robotic-assisted stereotactic hematoma drainage and suboccipital craniotomy (SC) in patients with spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage (SCH). METHODS This retrospective study included 138 non-comatose patients with SCH (Glasgow Coma Scale score [GCS] >8), divided into the SC and Robotic Stereotactic Assistance (ROSA) groups. The study recorded and analyzed complications and prognoses 90 days after ictus. RESULTS The inclusion criteria were met by 138 patients: 61 in the SC and 77 in the ROSA group, with no significant differences in sex, age, GCS score, hematoma volume, and the time from ictus to operation. The time of operation was greater in the SC group (287.53±87.57) than in the ROSA group (60.54±20.03). The evacuation rate (ER) was greater in the SC group (93.20±1.58) than in the ROSA group (89.13±2.75). The incidence of pneumonia and stress ulcers, as well as the length or costs of medical services, were lower in the ROSA group than in the SC group. Ninety days after ictus, the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), Glasgow Prognostic Scale (GOS), and Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) scores significantly differed between the groups. The rate of good prognosis in the ROSA group was significantly higher compared with that in the SC group. The incidence of balance disorders was lower in the ROSA group than in the SC group; no statistically significant difference was found in the incidence of dysarthria and swallowing disorders. CONCLUSION Robotic-assisted stereotactic hematoma drainage may be suitable for non-comatose and stable condition patients with SCH. This procedure improves prognosis 90 days after ictus, lowers the incidence of pneumonia and stress ulcers, and reduces the length and costs of medical services.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most serious form of stroke and has limited available therapeutic options. As knowledge on ICH rapidly develops, cutting-edge techniques in the fields of surgical robots, regenerative medicine, and neurorehabilitation may revolutionize ICH treatment. However, these new advances still must be translated into clinical practice. In this review, we examined several emerging therapeutic strategies and their major challenges in managing ICH, with a particular focus on innovative therapies involving robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, stem cell transplantation, in situ neuronal reprogramming, and brain-computer interfaces. Despite the limited expansion of the drug armamentarium for ICH over the past few decades, the judicious selection of more efficacious therapeutic modalities and the exploration of multimodal combination therapies represent opportunities to improve patient prognoses after ICH.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a stroke subtype with high mortality and disability, and there are no proven medical treatments that can improve the functional outcome of ICH patients. Robot-assisted neurosurgery is a significant advancement in the development of minimally invasive surgery for ICH. This review encompasses the latest advances and future directions of surgical robots for ICH. First, three robotic systems for neurosurgery applied to ICH are illustrated. Second, the key technologies of robot-assisted surgery for ICH are introduced in aspects of stereotactic technique and navigation, the puncture instrument, and hematoma evacuation. Finally, the limitations of current surgical robots are summarized, and the possible development direction is discussed, which is named "multisensor fusion and intelligent aspiration control of minimally invasive surgical robot for ICH". It is expected that the new generation of surgical robots for ICH will facilitate quantitative, precise, individualized, standardized treatment strategies for ICH.

Abstract
Objective Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is characterized by high fatality outcomes, even under best medical treatment. Recently, minimally invasive surgical (MIS) evacuation of the hematoma has shown promising results and may soon be implemented in the clinical practice. Hereby, we intended to foresee the logistic requirements for an early hematoma evacuation protocol, as well as to evaluate in a real-life implementation model the cost-utility of the two main MIS techniques for hemorrhagic stroke (catheter evacuation plus thrombolysis and neuroendoscopic aspiration). Methods Data were obtained from the pool of hemorrhagic-stroke patients admitted to our institution during an annual period (2020-2021) and contrasted to the reported results in published trials of MIS techniques. Potential candidates for surgical treatment were identified according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria established in these trials. Then, a cost-utility analysis was performed, which explored the incremental cost per unit of health gained with a given treatment. The treatment effect was measured by differences in modified Rankin Score, and subsequently converted to quality-adjusted life years (QALY). Results Of the 137 patients admitted to our center with supratentorial spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in a 1-year period, 17 (12.4%) were potential candidates for the catheter evacuation plus thrombolysis technique (Minimally Invasive Surgery with Thrombolysis in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation trial, MISTIE III criteria) and 59 (43.0%) for the neuroendoscopic aspiration technique (Dutch Intracerebral Hemorrhage Surgery Trial Pilot Study, DIST criteria). The incremental cost-utility ratio was € 76,533.13 per QALY for the catheter-based evacuation and € 60,703.89 per QALY for the endoscopic-based technique. Conclusion Around 12-43% of patients admitted to hospital with spontaneous hemorrhagic stroke could be potential candidates to MIS early evacuation of the cerebral hematoma. In our real-life implementation model, the cost-utility analysis favored the neuroendoscopic evacuation over the catheter aspiration technique. Further studies are advisable as new data from the ongoing randomized trials becomes available.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. To date, there is no specific treatment that clearly provides a benefit in functional outcome or mortality. Surgical treatment for hematoma evacuation has not yet shown clear benefit over medical management despite promising preclinical studies. Minimally invasive treatment options for hematoma evacuation are under investigation but remain in early-stage clinical trials. Robotics has the potential to improve treatment. In this paper, we review intracerebral hemorrhage pathology, currently available treatments, and potential robotic approaches to date. We also discuss the future role of robotics in stroke treatment.

Neurosurg Rev 2021; 45:317-328. [PMID: 34392456 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-021-01616-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Revised: 06/24/2021] [Accepted: 07/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
The presence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) portends a worse prognosis in patients presenting with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Intraventricular hemorrhage increases the rates of hydrocephalus, ventriculitis, and long-term shunt dependence. Over the past decade, novel medical devices and protocols have emerged to directly treat IVH. Presently, we review new technological adaptations to treating intraventricular hemorrhage in an effort to focus further innovation in treating this morbid neurosurgical pathology. We summarize current and historical treatments as well as innovations in IVH including novel procedural techniques, use of the Integra Surgiscope, use of the Artemis evacuator, use of BrainPath, novel catheter technology, large bore external ventricular drains, the IRRAflow, the CerebroFlo, and the future directions of the field. Technology and medical devices for both surgical and nonsurgical methods are advancing the treatment of IVH. With many promising new technologies on the horizon, prospects for improved clinical care for IVH and its etiologies remain hopeful.

Intraparenchymal hematoma and intraventricular catheter placement using robotic stereotactic assistance (ROSA): A single center preliminary experience. J Clin Neurosci 2021; 91:391-395. [PMID: 34373057 DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2021.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2021] [Accepted: 04/04/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Large supratentorial intraparenchymal hemorrhages are managed emergently with image-guided catheters that aim to minimize injury to surrounding parenchyma. Robotic assistance may offer advantages for stereotactic guidance and placement of such catheters. We describe our center's experience with minimally invasive ROSA-assisted intraventricular and intraparenchymal hemorrhage catheter placement and delineate its safety and outcomes. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed including all patients with intraparenchymal hematoma that underwent ROSA-assisted intraparenchymal and intraventricular catheter placement at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center between 2017 and 2019. All patients received tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) through the intraparenchymal catheter. We performed a manual chart review of these patients. Pertinent clinical and radiological characteristics and patient outcomes were recorded and analyzed. Catheter trajectory was independently quantified and analyzed by two independent reviewers. Error between the planned trajectory and final position was calculated and analyzed. RESULTS Four patients (2 males and 2 females, mean age of 64 years) with deep brain large volume intraparenchymal hemorrhages were treated with catheter evacuation with robotic assistance. For 2 of the 4 patients, thin-cut CT imaging allowed for the real trajectory of the catheter to be compared to the targeted trajectory to calculate error. The mean error of catheter placement was 3.48 mm. ROSA-assisted catheter placement achieved up to 95% reduction of intraparenchymal hematoma volume with a statistically significant decrease following catheter drainage (pre- 51.8 ± 19.1 cc vs. post- 13.0 ± 14.4; p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Robotic stereotactic assistance offers a safe and sufficiently accurate technique for intraparenchymal hematoma and intraventricular catheter placement.

Abstract
Background To observe the therapeutic effect of conventional decompressive craniectomy with hematoma evacuation and frame-based stereotactic minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for supratentorial intracranial hematoma with herniation. Methods One hundred forty-nine patients with hypertensive ICH complicated with tentorial herniation were reviewed and analyzed in the present study. The intracranial hematoma was evacuated by emergency surgery within 6 h after admission. According to the authorized representatives’ wishes and consent, 74 of the 149 patients were treated by conventional decompressive craniectomy followed by hematoma removal, defined as the CDC group, and the remaining 75 patients underwent frame-based stereotactic MIS for ICH evacuation, defined as the MIS group. The intervals between the admission to surgery, the duration of surgery, the amount of iatrogenic bleeding, the occurrence of postoperative rebleeding, and the recovery of neurological functions were compared between the two groups. All patients were followed up for 3 months. Secondary epilepsy, survival in a vegetative state, severe pulmonary complications, mortality, and activities of daily living (ADL) classification were also recorded and compared. Results The interval between admission and surgery, the duration of surgery, and intraoperative blood loss in the MIS group were significantly decreased compared to the CDC group. The mortality rate, the rate of rebleeding, prevalence of vegetative state, and severe pulmonary complications in the MIS group were remarkably decreased compared to the CDC group. In the MIS group, the survivors’ (ADL) grade also showed advantages. Conclusions In the surgical treatment of hypertensive ICH complicated with tentorial herniation, frame-based stereotactic MIS for ICH showed advantages compared to conventional open surgery.

Abstract
Entrapment of the temporal horn (ETH) is a form of focal, obstructive hydrocephalus. Etiology and clinical presentation are diversified. Though known since 1947, standard treatment has not yet been defined. The objective of our study was to perform a systematic review on ETH. Data from patients treated at our Institution from 2008 to 2019 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. A systematic PRISMA review of literature was also performed using PubMed and Google Scholar. 121 cases (mean age 41 years; M/F ratio 1/1) were analyzed. In 65 (vs 56) cases (53.7% vs 46.3%) ETH was not surgery related. Headache was the most common symptom (42%). "Major" treatments were (1) ventriculoperitoneal/ventriculoatrial shunt (42 cases, 34.7%), and (2) endoscopic ventriculocisternostomy (12 cases, 9.9%). In the first group, no perioperative complications were found, 39 patients (92.9%) had a favorable outcome, 3 patients (7.1%) died for the underlying disease, 4 cases (9.5%) went through revision; also considering the cases in which another procedure was performed as definitive treatment, shunt failures were 6 (13.6%). In the second group, 1 case (8.3%) developed a deep intracerebral hemorrhage, 11 cases (91.6%) had a favorable long-term outcome, 1 case (8.3%) had a favorable short-term outcome; also considering the cases in which another procedure was performed as definitive treatment, endoscopic ventriculocisternostomy failures were 6 (37.5%). Described as uncommon, ETH is probably underestimated. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are critical. VP shunt is still the most commonly performed treatment. Further randomized clinical trials are, however, needed to establish the gold standard.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During the last decades, there has been a great increase in the usage of robotic systems during surgeries in order to reach increased operational precision, reduced operation times, enhanced recovery periods, low infection risks, and limited scar formations for aesthetic reasons. In light of this, the current study focuses on the field of robotic surgery by introducing the kinematic structure of the precise robotic positioning manipulator for brain biopsy. METHODOLOGY Throughout the study, two degrees of freedom spherical parallel robot manipulator was proposed in order to position brain biopsy needle precisely during the brain biopsy operation on the target workspace. RESULTS Direct and inverse kinematics of the manipulator were carried out parametrically by using quaternion algebra. The prototype of the manipulator was manufactured by rapid prototyping for hardware verification. CONCLUSIONS Hardware verification of the manufactured prototype was completed distinctly by using motion capture cameras and manufactured mock-up setup that mimics tumour locations inside the brain. Successful verification results in terms of precision were achieved.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Although spontaneous intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH) accounts for less than 20% of cases of stroke, it continues to be associated with the highest mortality of all forms of stroke and substantial morbidity rates. OBSERVATIONS Early identification and management of IPH is crucial. Blood pressure control, reversal of associated coagulopathy, care in a dedicated stroke unit, and identification of secondary etiologies are essential to optimizing outcomes. Surgical management of hydrocephalus and space occupying hemorrhage in the posterior fossa are accepted forms of treatment. Modern advances in minimally invasive surgical management of primary, supratentorial IPH are being explored in randomized trials. Hemorrhagic arteriovenous malformations and cavernous malformations are surgically excised if accessible, while hemorrhagic dural arteriovenous fistulas and distal/mycotic aneurysms are often managed with embolization if feasible. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE IPH remains a considerable source of neurological morbidity and mortality. Rapid identification, medical management, and neurosurgical management, when indicated, are essential to facilitate recovery. There is ongoing evaluation of minimally invasive approaches for evacuation of primary IPH and evolution of surgical and endovascular techniques in the management of lesions leading to secondary IPH.
